When the content of the organic carbon source citric acid is properly increased, the first charge capacity, the first coulombic efficiency, the cycle performance and the multiplying power of the sample are obviously improved; when the content of the organic carbon source citric acid is excessively increased, the cycle performance and the rate performance of the organic carbon source citric acid are reduced to a certain extent. Thicker carbon layers can hinder the transport of lithium ions and simultaneously reduce the overall specific capacity of the zinc molybdate positive electrode material.
From example 1 and comparative example 1, the cathode materials prepared in the sol-gel synthesis method can improve electron conductivity of significant materials, optimize electron transport paths, and exhibit stable long-cycle performance.
From examples 1 and 20, zn was not treated by wet ball milling 2 Mo 3 O 8 The @ C electrode had a somewhat poorer rate capability, which can be attributed to the production of Zn of smaller particle size by wet ball milling treatment 2 Mo 3 O 8 @C, which is favorable for shortening Zn in the charge and discharge process 2+ Thereby improving the dynamic performance of the material and showing excellent rate performance.
From the results of example 1 and comparative example 2, the presence of hetero-phase ZnO in the positive electrode material of comparative example 2 suggests that the reaction is incomplete due to the high temperature sintering performed only once in comparative example 2, and thus it is necessary to lengthen the reaction time.
From examples 4,5, 7 and comparative examples 3-5, the materials of examples 4,5 and 7 themselves do not contain zinc, the positions in which the layered structure can intercalate during the first discharge are limited, whereas the material of example 1 itself contains zinc, and the zinc ions in the layered structure can deintercalate during the first charge, providing more positions for intercalation of zinc ions. This also well explains that examples 4,5 and 7 have far less electrochemical performance than example 1. The zinc storage properties of the transition metal oxide electrode materials themselves were further demonstrated to be poor as compared to the electrochemical properties of comparative examples 3 to 5, but after the carbon modification according to the present application, the cycle capacity retention rate was significantly improved relative to that before the modification.
From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects: the preparation method of the application realizes the uniform mixing of raw material atoms or molecular levels under the liquid phase, thereby avoiding the formation of impurity phases caused by the uneven mixing of raw materials, having simple synthesis process and being easy to realize large-scale industrial production; in the preparation process, the amorphous carbon is coated on the surface of the positive electrode material by adding an organic carbon source into the system, so that the conductivity of the positive electrode material is improved, the electron transmission path is optimized, the dynamic performance of the positive electrode material is improved, and the problems of low specific capacity attenuation and poor multiplying power performance of the battery are further effectively improved in the charge-discharge cycle process. Meanwhile, secondary sintering can fully react and reduce impurity phases; specifically, the xerogel releases gas through the first sintering, which is favorable for stabilizing the oxygen partial pressure and the air tightness of a furnace body in the subsequent high-temperature sintering process, in addition, the xerogel is decomposed into metal oxide through the first sintering to obtain precursor powder, and the distance from metal atoms to a solid-phase reaction interface of the precursor powder is favorable for shortening the high-temperature sintering time in the subsequent high-temperature sintering process, so that the energy consumption can be reduced.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present application by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
